The Super Duke and the Speed Triples were designed to be hooligan bikes from the beginning. The Ducati Monster S4/S4R/S4RS used the testastretta engine from the 998/999 but didn't have the stiff chassis to handle all that power.

I love teasing you but I noticed that you didn't remark about the Bandit, is it because the first large Bandit's engine came from a GSXR1100? Thus preceding the Tuono by about a decade? What about the FZ1? The Superhawk? The SV1000? Heck, the TL1000? I know that you're in love with the Tuono and I'll give you that it's the "best" but the "first"? Nah...
